Getting the width/height of the entire browser in IE?

Question

Does anybody here know what the Javascript call is to get the width/height of the entire browser window (including nav, menu, etc?)

I know there is outerWidth<

Answer 1

It's a variation of DreadPirateShawn's answer. Tested on IE7 and Chrome8. Originally appearing on Experts Exchange.

function getWindowSize() {
    var wW, wH;
    if (window.outerWidth) {
        wW = window.outerWidth;
        wH = window.outerHeight;
    } else {
        var cW = document.body.offsetWidth;
        var cH = document.body.offsetHeight;
        window.resizeTo(500,500);
        var barsW = 500 - document.body.offsetWidth;
        var barsH = 500 - document.body.offsetHeight;
        wW = barsW + cW;
        wH = barsH + cH;
        window.resizeTo(wW,wH);
    }
    return { width: wW, height: wH };
}
